The hike was a bit of a challenge for a middle aged out of hiking shape couple, but so worth the effort to get up there. The views where spectacular, the wildflowers smelled amazing. Witnessed the best sunset I've seen in my life while enjoying dinner. We could not have had a better time.
Great cabin experience. Steep hike in (took us about 2hrs and10 minutes since we are not avid hikers). Excellent views. Cabin was comfortable. We appreciated that there was electricity from the solar panel. I wish there were directions on changing the toilet bag but I think we figured it out. Would have been fun if there was a guest book and more games. We were looking for a place to get away for two days and not see any people. Mission accomplished.
This place is unbelievable!!! Steve the host was available when we needed him. He pre-warned me about the intense hike up to the property being older I was a bit nervous I’m not going to lie it was pretty intense for me so it took a little longer than it may for most. BUT I did it and it was so beyond worth it. The views and solitude was beyond my imagination. The property is clean everything we may have needed was there. The jet boil was a total bonus. Thanks for supplying that Steve. Having coffee watching the sun rise and having a glass of wine while watching the sunset while listening to Mother Nature was exactly what we needed. If anyone is needing an amazing getaway at a really good price I highly recommend this property. I will never forget my time here. Oh and my boyfriend found the gio cache box so fun!!!
this is a one of a kind stay in every way. the hike up is hard but such a killer experience pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. once you get to redemption rock tower you almost want to cry because it’s so beautiful. the space was clean and easy to operate. will definitely be back and boasting about this stay for awhile. thank you Steve!
Great place! Owner is awesome and friendly, helped us with directions, hike itself was fun, especially in the snow, about 3 feet toward the top! Tower was clean, plenty of wood and water as well as a speaker and other little things to make the stay enjoyable! Will be coming back!
was an amazing experience… my son not much of a hiker was the one who pushed me to finish! an woke up to a white christmas so it was even that much more worth it! an a memory that we will never forget!
We had the best time at your tower ! Super clean , amenities available we weren’t expecting. We drove up in our side by side and it was just so much fun start to finish !
Great location , awesome views and an experience you won’t forget
This was a great stay! We’re so glad the little fireplace was there - it kept the place very warm! Lots of games and just a great spot to be! It was a little unclear of how to get to the trail form where we parked but we followed the road and figured it out! Would highly recommend staying here for a fun adventurous trip!
The tower is a clean, well-built, relaxing place to stay with full 360 views of Idaho and Washington!
The solar power built into the tower was strong enough for our small, 600-watt coffee pot to work.
The windows have screens so no bugs can get in.
We enjoyed the chairs on the porch to take in the stunning sunsets!
This was our second time at the tower. We stayed over 4th of July. Amazing views for days. We hiked up to redemption rock and the view was spectacular.
We had an amazing night at Redemption Rock Tower. The hike is strenuous. But, the view and accommodation are absolutely worth it. The only hiccup we had was attempting to book the property on another site instead of VRBO. But, the property manager worked with us to resolve the problem. Highly recommend this beautiful getaway!
My boyfriend and I stayed 2 nights over winter break. The hike is no joke, and we used snow shoes the whole way, but the view is gorgeous. The tower has a wonderful wood stove and a dry toilet so everything you need to be comfortable. If you are up for a tough hike and an adventure, this is a unique experience for you!
What a cool place to stay! Amazing views and sunset you can’t miss.
The parking spot was a bit overgrown so make sure to look for the signs behind the weeds, also do not use the VRBO open maps option on the app to get here, either follow the hosts directions or put the actual address in your maps. The trail off the gravel road is about 3/4 of a mile from the parking spot. There is more shade once you are off the gravel road. The tower is awesome, and with all the windows letting in a breeze it cooled down pretty quickly. There is a well loved jetboil and a kettle for the stove, as well as a grill. The toilet works well, but there are no posted instructions on how to change the cartridge if needed. Also, you have to bring your own trash down, something to really keep in mind if you hike up. Overall great place to stay.
Wonderful place to stay, hike is strenuous, which is what we had hoped for; can't imagine doing it in snow shoes with packs. We went on a hot spring day and needed a little more water than we had brought. Beautiful hike. Wish the description (or signs) had indicated that the hike begins on the same road for cars for the first part; once we made it to the hiking/ATV trail, it was very well marked. Cabin had everything we needed for a rustic weekend getaway. Would love to go again, and maybe bring our active boys (age 8, 10, 12). Thanks so much, Steve!!!
Perfect for a weekend getaway, in a beautiful area and the view is wonderful! Peacful and relaxing. There is a hammock and sime games to play.
Its definitely a 3 mile hike in but its straight up and down! Very steep in spots. Be prepared to at least have a hour and a half hike in.
We had a razor so it wasnt so bad. But if you are hiking with more than a few things it could be tricky. The owner is great at responding and keeping in touch.
But overall we loved it and its clean! Would definitely go again!
